We hope you are enjoying these weekly feature posts from the authors of Inspired by Life…and Fiction. We’re sharing some of our favorite things to help you get to know us a little better—and we’d love to hear your answers to these “favorites” questions in the comments below.

Favorite Beverage: I adore coffee. Especially in lattes. But they have to be plain. I don’t love extra sugar and flavoring in them. The other thing I love is sparkling water. I fell in love with that while we were in Italy over a couple summers. Soda was too expensive, so we all switched over to sparkling water. Now I can hardly drink soda. It’s just too sweet.

Favorite Color: I adore jewel tone colors, but my absolute favorite is purple. It’s the color of royalty and I have always loved it.

Favorite Thing You Collect: I struggled to answer this one, but I think the thing I collect is art from the places we’ve traveled in Europe. It’s harder to find than you would think. It was our third trip to London before I found a street gallery near the Globe Theater on a Saturday morning. We were able to buy some beautiful pieces from old books that I still need to frame. I also love to buy art from artists who are working on the street. They capture some of my favorite places, and I enjoy supporting their creative endeavors. It’s a wonderful way to remember our adventures.
